It is the intent of this subchapter to provide design flexibility by allowing substantial variances from the provisions of the city ordinances relating to district dimensional requirements, subdivision, and development, including similar regulations, but not parking requirements, off-street loading, or necessary screening. The variances, if granted, shall be fully consistent with the general intent and purpose of the city ordinances relating to land use, subdivision and development, including the provisions of this chapter. It is not the intent of this section to increase overall density beyond the limits imposed by the other sections of this chapter.
